Site setup

The site setup tab allows you to configure the kind of information your buyers see when accessing your catalog. Let's take a look!

Access: The DNS domain (web address/URL) that will point to your buyer facing catalog. If you need assistance with setting up your domain, please contact us so we can get you set up.

Catalog: Here you can set up how your customers will see your catalog with a variety of options.

Size/Color - If your catalog has variants, this view mode enables your buyer to see a grid style view per product. They are more easily able to pick the size and color of a product if your catalog specializes in clothing and apparel.

Quick Variant View - Turning this on will enable your customers to add variants directly to their cart without expanding the row or opening the product's details page. You can see in the image below how this adds a second set of controls to quickly add variants (such as size or color options) into the cart:

Default View - Change the default view mode, picking from one of the options below:

List - Gives your customer a list style view of all your products. If you have a larger product catalog, this might be a better option as you'll have more items listed on screen at once for your buyers to view.

Image - If your catalog would benefit from displaying larger images of your products as opposed to the smaller thumbnails you get in the list view.

Homepage: On the homepage that is seen by your buyers, you can choose to display recently order items, a great option for giving your customers quick access to products they may want to reorder. Here you can identify a maximum number of recently ordered items you’d like displayed on your homepage and identify the time frame you consider “recent.” Note: this will only pull from orders in the 'Processing' or 'Complete' status.

Order History In this section you can choose to display shipping status along with the order history of your buyers.

Email Invites: This is intended to help increase adoption of Handshake Direct Online across your customers if they happen to miss the initial email invite. The re-sent email will be delivered from the email address configured for the default manufacturer within your account. Auto re-sends will only occur once after the initial buyer invite.

Customer Downloads

The Customer Downloads page allows you to provide links to downloadable documents or other pages as you see fit. Let's take a look!

We've provided the markup editor were you can place a link to a downloadable document. For example, you could provide a link to a downloadable PDF version of your catalog or a terms and conditions document if you wanted to make that available to your customers. Just remember to make sure 'publish' is turned on and to click the blue 'save' button once completed.

Customer Help

The Customer Help page allows you to provide help related documentation to your buyers. Let's take a look!

This markup box generates an entire page you can set up and customize for your buyers as opposed to just a banner. We recommend that you include contact information (and email address or phone number), shipping requirements, tax information, support hours, and a general overview of what happens after an order is submitted. Just remember to make sure 'publish' is turned on and to click the blue 'save' button once completed.
